The main aim of this study was to explore secular trends between 2000 and 2008 in physical self esteem by comparing cross sectional cohorts of young adolescents.
Data of physical self esteem, mean steps per day and body mass index (BMI) were collected in comparable cohorts comprising 191 (103 girls) (2000) and 170 adolescents (101 girls) (2008) in a middle class Swedish community.
There was a significant higher Global Self-esteem in the cohort 2008 compared with the 2000 cohort both in boys (p = .004) and girls (p = .018). Regarding Physical Self-worth, both boys and girls reported higher mean values in 2008, which were however not significant. Boys classified overweight/obese showed a significant lower value in Global Self-esteem (p = .001) in the 2008 cohort when compared with the overweight/obese in the 2000 cohort, but all other domains showed non significant differences. Girls classified overweight/obese showed a significant lower value in Physical Strength (p = .023), in the 2008 cohort when compared with the overweight/ obese in the 2000 cohort, but all other domains showed non significant differences.
There was significantly higher Global Self-esteem in the cohort 2008 compared with the 2000 cohort both in boys and girls, and regarding Physical Self-worth, both boys and girls reported higher mean values in 2008 that were not significant. In the overweight/obese adolescents group, the only significant difference was a lower perceived Physical Strength in girls in 2008 and a significant lower Global Self-esteem in boys in 2008. Enhanced focus on physical activity in society and actions taken by the school might have influenced the result.
本研究的主要目的是通过比较青少年横断面队列，探讨2000年至2008年期间身体自尊的长期趋势。
在瑞典一个中产阶级社区，收集了191名青少年（103名女孩）（2000年）和170名青少年（101名女孩）（2008年）的可比队列中身体自尊、每日平均步数和体重指数（BMI）的数据。
与2000年队列相比，2008年队列中的男孩（p = .004）和女孩（p = .018）的总体自尊显著更高。关于身体自我价值，男孩和女孩在2008年报告的平均值更高，但不显著。与2000年队列中的超重/肥胖男孩相比，2008年队列中被归类为超重/肥胖的男孩在总体自尊方面显著较低（p = .001），但所有其他领域均无显著差异。与2000年队列中的超重/肥胖女孩相比，2008年队列中被归类为超重/肥胖的女孩在身体力量方面显著较低（p = .023），但所有其他领域均无显著差异。
与2000年队列相比，2008年队列中的男孩和女孩的总体自尊显著更高，关于身体自我价值，男孩和女孩在2008年报告的平均值更高但不显著。在超重/肥胖青少年组中，唯一显著的差异是2008年女孩的身体力量感知较低，以及2008年男孩的总体自尊显著较低。社会对体育活动的更多关注以及学校采取的行动可能影响了结果。
